Marine Turtle Information

Public Service Announcement

Town of LBK

All species of sea turtles in the U.S. are endangered or

threatened. The loggerhead turtle is the most common sea

turtle that nests in Florida and accounts for 99% of the nests on Longboat Key in 2007

(143 loggerhead and 2 green turtle nests); Longboat Key in one of the first communities

in Florida to develop and enforce lighting ordinances that attempted to reduce sea turtle

hatchling disorientations.

The sea turtle nesting season covers May through August of each year. Nests of 100-200

eggs the size of ping-pong balls will incubate for an average of 55 to 65 days. Because

the incubation period extends 6 to 8 weeks after the nesting period, active enforcement of

the Town of Longboat Key’s Ordinance takes place between May though October or

until all the nests have hatches.

The female loggerhead matures in about 30 years to return to beaches near where she was

born. navigating from her sensing of the earth’s magnetic fields. These turtles migrate

great distances and overcome many natural and human-related hazards during migration.

Females emerge by night to nest on dark sandy beaches between the nigh tide line and

dune front. This is the same area used by day by residents and transient beach-goers. We

need to share the beach to allow turtles to nest. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other

portable items that are left on a beach are obstacles that can cause a female to depart

without laying her eggs.

Turtle vision is best at underwater swimming in low light situations. When the baby

turtles emerge at night, they travel toward a brightest horizon, which on a dark beach

would lead them reliably to sea. However, any bright lights that are visible from the

beach can overwhelm this sensitive night vision. Bright artificial lights that are visible

from the beach can overwhelm this wrong way toward exterior lights or interior lights

from condos or hotels, single-family residences or street lights. In 2007, 37% of turtle

nests on Longboat Key had a disorientation event. The causes included lights from hotels

or condos, single family residences, sky glow and parking lots. These disorientations

resulted in a loss of 1327 baby turtles. With odds of 1 in 1000 for returning to nest,

simple measures to reduce light pollution would insure that one more turtle might make it

to return to nest on Longboat Key in 2037. Florida’s loggerhead population has declined

by 40% in the last decade, so everyone can help by:

Removing beach furniture or obstacles from the nesting area.

Turn off, shield or redirect lights during nesting season.

Close blinds or drapes over beach facing windows at night.

Use your natural vision while on the beach at night instead of flashlights.

If you meet a turtle on the beach at night, remain quiet and still until she leaves.

Do not disturb tracks made by a turtles. Researchers use the tracks to ID the

species.
